Yamal has been sporting blonde hair for some time and team-mate Gavi revealed his bleached hairstyle last week. The pair were followed by Lewandowski, who unveiled his new blonde look on Thursday with the caption: “New season, new hair, same goals."
Later that day, Szczesny joined the gang when he posted a selfie. On Friday morning, though, he posted a new picture with jet-black hair, admitting his wife made him dye it again.
Shortly afterwards, he posted another story revealing he had shaved his hair off completely. "She didn't like the dark either. Only one solution," he wrote.

Yamal could not ignore the dig, though, as he gave his approval of the Polish veteran's dye job, but the teenager still believes he has the best look of the bunch.
"Top two after me, not bad," he wrote in an Instagram story.
DID YOU KNOW?
Szczesny recently extended his contract with the Catalan giants until 2027 and is currently enjoying his final days off in Poland before returning to training. The 2025/26 season is expected to be fiercely competitive, particularly for the starting goalkeeper spot. His decision to join the blonde hair trend popularized last year by Dani Olmo adds a light-hearted touch. The 36-year-old's humorous post not only keeps spirits high but also highlights the strong camaraderie within the squad.
